Bristol Zoo Wow! Gorillas

Thursday 29th September will see the culmination of the hugely successful world class mass public art event, Bristol Wow! Gorillas.  

In the year that Bristol Zoo Gardens celebrates its 175th anniversary, Wow! Gorillas brought a world class mass public art event to the streets and parks of Bristol over the summer. Bringing together residents, visitors, schools, artists and businesses for a truly memorable shared experience for the whole city.

Wow! Gorillas has brought the arts and business communities together for the benefit of the city, showcasing the creative genius that has given Bristol its unique and vibrant culture. Artists decorated life-size gorillas, sponsored by local businesses which were then placed around the city for 10 weeks between 6 July and 6 September. 20 lucky gorillas then visited London for a few days between 16-22 Sepetember. The gorillas are now appearing at the Zoo to view between 24-28 September at our Goodbye Gorillas Event . The gorillas will then be auctioned off on 29 September to raise money for vital gorilla conservation work and for local Bristol charity Wallace and Gromit's Grand Appeal.

eXPD8 field marketing were the proud sponsors of one of the original 60 gorillas, BlackBeardorilla who was placed outside the Llandoger Trow in Kings Street Bristol.
